PAUL VERNON is a freelance music consultant in England. He has been involved in the music business for 20 years, writing articles, editing magazines, and programming re-releases of vintage and ethnic music on compact discs. He hopes this seminal work will be the catalyst that helps committed record collectors share their personal knowledge unselfishly with fellow researchers.
?Vernon's study is intended to promote thought and discussion of
recorded ethnic music and to assist specalists working on
individual discographical projects. It also provides needed
information about obscure recording labels, some of which have been
defunct for decades.?-Choice
